Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

It isn't clear who will win because it's a democracy.

It's very clear who should win.

Age? trump is barely a few years younger, looks horrific and literally can't speak properly.

trump's a rapist who directly committed election fraud multiple times

Biden has passed a lot(a LOT) of truly good civil and environmental legislation in three years that has benefited millions of people and advanced civil rights.

No comparison.

Well Trump correctly identified a whale on his last cognitive assessment. Sooo, samesies?

What I love is that he thinks that means he's smart.

[–] 4grams@awful.systems 22 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What I hate is that it his supporters think it means he’s smart.

[–] groupofcrows@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He is smart when compared to them.

[–] 4grams@awful.systems 4 points 9 months ago

exactly. can you even imagine being the kind of person who looks up to that???

It’s honestly hilarious that he bragged about how hard the cognitive test was, and then, like, all of the psychiatrists came out of the woodwork saying “Bro it’s literally designed to be an absolutely trivial test for a person with relatively normal cognitive function. If you think it’s hard, that’s a problem.”

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

It's not even the kind of test you can pass or fail. It's a diagnostic test. It's like bragging about the results of being able to read an eye chart to the sixth line.
